The dad brought home a present for Kenji from his colleague. The kor kor was helping me to unwrap the present. when he took down the ribbon, he went to put it in di di’s little hand.
I find the sight so cute so snapped a pic of it. Currently most of Di Di’s photos won’t turn out well as I don’t want to use the flash on him yet. So please pardon the poor quality.
Kenji is now about 3 weeks old. My calm and mild baby has turned into a fussy baby these few days. Wonder whether is it due to colic? Or is it because he is not getting enough milk. This horrible infant can drink 120ml now. I only found out about this today when my confinement lady assist to bottle feed breastmilk while I was resting.
Initally I’ve got plenty of milk supply, the supply have since dropped quite a bit…. all because the stupid me listen to my massage lady.. who advice me not to over stimulate my supply so that I will not suffer from engorgement. For the first 2 weeks, I’ve got quite bad engorgement till I was shivering non stop and even develop fever for 2 days… I thought no harm following her instruction and true enough, my engorgement went away but so did that ample supply of milk…. 😦 Let’s hope I am able to revive the supply before I head back to office in Jan.
Little Kenji has grown quite a bit. I didn’t measure him but I am very sure he has grown in length. His head looks bigger now, and his limbs are able to protrude out from his clothes now. When he first came home, we have problem fitting him into the baby clothes cos he was so small. He don’t even need mittens as his little fists will be all hidden within the sleeves. Wonder whether he will be as chubby as his kor kor use to be. 🙂
Hey Ivy, Dec sounds like he has taken really well to his baby brother, what a champ! He is such a sweet little boy. The engorgement is pretty normal for the first few weeks. That will settle down over the next number of weeks. The milk supply will definitely come back if u go back to feeding Kenji more, thus stimulating the supply.
So cute…Dec dotes on his brother alot huh. 🙂
I had engorgement fever on the second week after i gave birth, my fever shot up to 42 and i had to be hospitalised..after that i also found that my milk supply dwindle, but my sis told me to latch botak on and pump out to increase supply, and true enough, my supply returns!! Jia you, Ivy, i’m sure you can do that! Drink plenty of fluids and most importantly, rest more! 🙂
wow! 120ml really a lot for a 3wk baby!!
my Didi 4mths now only drink 100ml lei……
